Respondus LockDown Browser: Respondus LockDown Browser® is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within the LMS. When students use LockDown Browser they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications. When an assessment is started, students are locked into it until they submit it for grading. To mitigate cheating and Honor Code violations on assessments, many professors used Zoom to proctor their exams in real time, and others used the Respondus LockDown Browser to record individual students during tests. But if Emory students’ condemnatory reactions are any indication, surveillance is not the answer. Proctored assessments are.

Using Respondus:
Instructors choosing to use Respondus tools for testing should ask their students to conduct a sample test to confirm that they have working components.

Students (and instructors) can take it over and over to verify that everything is working, prior to the test.

STS operates on a first-come, first-serve basis. Most support requests, such as EmoryUnplugged wireless setups or game console registrations, can be handled relatively quickly. More complicated issues, such as virus and/or spyware removal, may require a computer to be checked-in for repair.
Students will need to have their Emory Student IDs for verification when visiting us for assistance or picking up a computer.

- Install or reinstall operating systems
- Scan for and remove computer viruses and other types of malware
- Install a suite of anti-spyware solutions to combat future infections
- Assist with general operating system troubleshooting
- Install the latest hardware drivers for your machine
- Uninstall programs that pose security risks to your computer, including P2P software
- Diagnose hardware problems and assist with repairs
